Four fighters from Saturday’s
UFC 155 card have been handed potential six-month medical
suspensions by the Nevada Athletic Commission.

The NAC on Monday released a full list of suspensions from the
event, which closed out the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s
calendar year at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Middleweight Tim Boetsch,
who suffered a third-round technical knockout loss to Constantinos
Philippou, was suspended until June 28 with no contact until
Jan. 29 for nasal fractures; if cleared he can return by Feb. 13.
Fellow main card performer Alan
Belcher also faces a six-month suspension due to jaw and knee
injuries sustained in a unanimous decision loss to Yushin
Okami. “The Talent” must have his right mandible and right knee
examined and cleared before he can return to action. At a minimum,
Belcher is not allowed to have contact until Feb. 28.

“The Ultimate Fighter 12” alumnus Michael
Johnson was suspended until June 28 after injuring his left
hand in a lopsided decision loss to “TUF 15” competitor Myles Jury in
a preliminary bout. Johnson can compete as soon as Jan. 20 if he is
cleared by a doctor. Heavyweight Todd Duffee
